The article presents the results of experimental and numerical investigation of turbulent premixed methane flames diluted by carbon dioxide (up to 30%) at atmospheric and elevated pressures (up to 0.5 MPa). The study included the influence of fuel properties and operation parameters on the emission of NOx and CO as well as flame properties. The investigation has been prepared for two combustion system configurations (axisymmetric flames and flames supported by a pilot flame) in a wide range of air/fuel equivalence ratios (ϕ = 0.42 ÷ 0.85). It has been reported that reduction of NOx emission by CO2 fuel dilution reached a level of up to 45% in atmospheric conditions and 30% at elevated pressure, decreasing with a drop in the equivalence ratio. The results have shown influence of pressure on NOx composition, where for pressurized tests, NO2 was doubled compared to atmospheric tests. Carbon monoxide emission rises with CO2 content in the fuel as a result of thermal dissociation, but this phenomenon is mitigated by a pressure increase. Planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF) study has shown that flame length decreases with an increase in pressure and CO2 content in the fuel. Fuel staging increased NOx emission, especially for richer flames (ϕ > 0.6) at low pressure, while CO increased in the whole range of equivalence ratios.
